    Look, I am not a fan of either, I predicted Arreola would get his arse reamed against Vitali and he did, he is a club fighter ,but nowadays that is good enough to get you a title shot.
    I never suggested Morrison would out class Arreola ,but I think he stops him.
    Morrison can actually box a bit ,and fight going backwards,Arreola has not shown that he can.
    If neither outcome would surprise you, why are you pursuing this so doggedly?

    Not sure really, I guess Im a bit bored today. :D I do think Arreola is better than a club level fighter. He was a decorated amatuer and has decent skills himself when hes in shape. I just think the combination of his size and workrate, which is pretty good for a guy his size, stylistically more than anything, creates a rough barnburner type fight. I just dont see how anyone could ever pick Morrison as a sure winner against anyone, hes shown vulnerabilities against fighters of all skill levels, because of his chin and **** stamina, and I watched just about everyone of his fights.

    I agree there aren't too many active threads other than this. I don't think there's much that can be said about this subject though than what has already been said in this thread. :good
